Caution

If you use a DataMiner version prior to DataMiner 10.1.7, we strongly advise that you use HTTPS when you use DataMiner client applications over public internet. If you do not do so, all information – including logon credentials – is sent as plain, unencrypted text over the internet. From DataMiner 10.1.7 onwards, client-server communication is encrypted by default. See also: Setting up HTTPS on a DMA.

Note
  • A “report-element” variable has to be added for every element that has to be included in the report.
  • From DataMiner 9.5.3 onwards, it is possible to use the element name (using URL encoding) instead of the DMAID/ElementID combination.
  • The “report-view” and “report-protocol” variables should only be used for report templates which can have an unspecified amount of elements.
  • All URL parameter values must be URL encoded. For more information, see http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_urlencode.asp.
